AGED LADY DIES TODAY

Mrs. Bridget Grady, 173 West Third street, died at 8 o'clock this morning of old age after an illness of several weeks. Deceased was 82 years of age at the time of her death.

She was born in Ireland and came to America when a young woman. With her husband she settled in New York state, where they lived for a year, afterwards moving to Ogle county, Ill., where they resided until 1866. In that year they came to Grundy county, Iowa, where they lived until Mr. Grady's death which occurred in 1891. Mrs. Grady then removed to Waterloo and had made this city her home ever since.

She leaves five children to mourn her death. They are Mrs. Barney Smith, Benson, Iowa; John G. Grady, Seaforth, Minnesota; Mrs. J. S. Hewitt, Red Oak, Iowa; Peter Grady, living in Waterloo; and Miss Bridget living at the home.

The funeral arrangements have not yet been made. All the children will come to attend the services and it is possible that they will be held on Tuesday of next week.
